Noida’s proposed elevated road, estimated to cost around ₹350 crore, has received in-principle approval from IIT Roorkee under a revised project plan that would connect it directly to the Pushta Road near Sector 94 and eventually link it with the elevated road towards Jewar Airport.
Engineers have submitted the revised detailed project report to the Noida Authority, according to a report by Navbharat Times – Noida. The authority may issue a construction tender next week, although the report does not state that the tender has already been released or that construction has begun.
The project is planned as a roughly six-lane elevated road with an approximate height of 20 metres. It will pass above the Magenta Metro Line. The revised alignment changes the earlier proposal, under which the road was to end at Pushta Road rather than connect directly with the wider route towards Jewar Airport.
Under the new plan, the elevated road will descend near Pushta Road in the vicinity of Sector 94. From there, it is proposed to connect with the Jewar Link Elevated Road, which is intended to carry traffic towards the airport. The revised route is therefore being positioned as an extension of the Chilla Elevated Road and as part of a larger road connection between Delhi, Noida and Jewar Airport.
The changes include extensions of approximately two kilometres in one section and around 1.8 kilometres in another, according to details cited from the Noida Authority’s DPR. The exact total length of the project is not specified in the supplied report, but the revised alignment is expected to extend the road’s reach beyond the earlier endpoint.
SP Singh, general manager of the Noida Authority, said the elevated road would come down at Pushta Road near Sector 94. He said the changes made in the revised DPR would benefit a large number of people and that a future connection with the Jewar Link Elevated Road would improve access for vehicles travelling towards Delhi and the airport.
The proposed connection would place the project within a busy and evolving transport corridor. Sector 94 is already linked to major roads and the Chilla Elevated Road, while the Magenta Metro Line creates an additional engineering constraint for any elevated structure. The reported 20-metre height and the proposed six-lane configuration indicate that the road has been designed to pass over existing urban infrastructure while maintaining a high-capacity connection.
The project’s immediate next step is the administrative processing of the revised DPR and the possible release of a construction tender. Until the tender is issued and subsequent approvals, contracts and work orders are completed, the reported cost, alignment and implementation details remain part of the approved-in-principle proposal rather than an active construction project.
